Digby: I Gotcher Bad Taste For Ya Rite-chia

I'm listening to Scarborough dissect Colbert's performance with Ana Marie Cox and Michael Sherer from Salon and I can't believe how vapid it is. They all agree that Colbert is usually hilarious but he wasn't entirely successful at the white house correspondent's dinner because well ... they're not quite sure. Apparently, they don't know that comedians often fail to get laughs in a room full of uncomfortable, angry people who are being skewered by a master satirist who is pulling no punches. Have they ever seen any footage of Lenny Bruce?
